Diez pasos para la construcción de un test
Open accessAbstract
Ten steps for test development. BACKGROUND: Tests are the measurement instruments most used by psychologists to obtain data about people, both in professional and research contexts. The main goal of this paper is to synthesize in ten steps the fundamental aspects that must be taken into account when building a test in a rigorous way. METHOD: For the elaboration of the ten proposed phases, the specialized psychometric literature was revised, and previous works by the authors on the subject were updated. RESULTS: Ten steps are proposed for the objective development of a test: delimitation of the general framework, definition of the variable to be measured, specifications, items development, edition of the test, pilot studies, selection of other measurement instruments, test administration, psychometric properties, and development of the final version. CONCLUSION: Following the ten proposed steps, objective tests can be developed with adequate psychometric properties based on empirical evidence.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
